Chapter 2055 The Last Number One Scholar

Seeing the label of "Si Ku Quanshu", Lu Fei's heart surged with excitement.

"Murray, can you bring the box? I want to see the books inside." Lu Fei asked.

Murray shrugged helplessly and said, "Sorry!"

"I can't help you with this, dear Mr. Lu Fei."

"Because I don't have the key either."

"Then who can I ask to open it?" ??

"Why don't you call the two administrators outside? They should have the keys, right?" Lu Fei asked.

"no!"

"Their responsibility is daily management and maintenance, and they are only responsible for the periphery."

"If you want to enter here, you must ask for permission from our elders, and you must be under the supervision of our family members."

"So, there's no way they have the key."

"Mr. Lu Fei, why don't we look at other things first!" Murray said.

Lu Fei nodded and did not press, but the next second he grabbed the copper ring of the main box and lifted one side of the box.

This move shocked Murray.

"Mr. Lu Fei, what are you doing?"

"Don't be nervous. I'm just checking the quality of the box. It won't be damaged." Lu Fei said.

Lu Fei was not checking the quality of the box, but judging whether it contained books based on the weight.

According to the feeling coming from his hand, it is very likely that the books inside are really books, which makes Lu Fei even more looking forward to it.

Seeing this big box, Lu Fei's previous thoughts changed instantly.

Thinking about it in my mind, I reluctantly put the box in its place and continued shopping.

"Zhuangzi", "Handwriting of Yuewei Thatched Cottage", "Digest Collection", and "Generals" were all thread-bound ancient books one by one, and I became more and more excited.

Lu Fei placed his left hand on the ancient book with the film on it, sliding it slowly as he moved forward.

After walking for more than ten meters, the little finger of his left hand suddenly tapped twice in the middle of an ancient book.

This scene

, Thomas Murray still didn't notice anything strange.

Turning around, Lu Fei said with a smile.

"Murray, your family has so many good things!"

"Let me ask you, how many collections like this do you have in total?"

"Only this one!" Murray replied.

"Just this place?"

"Your family has a big business, so you won't only have such a few good things, right?" Lu Fei asked doubtfully.

Murray rolled his eyes inadvertently.

"Mr. Lu Fei, these are already quite a few."

"This has been our family's collection for hundreds of years. We are proud enough to be able to collect so many genuine items."

"After all, collecting is just a hobby, not our family's main business."

"In addition, collecting requires a lot of financial support."

“It’s not worth investing huge amounts of money on this!”

Lu Fei nodded.

"What you said makes sense."

"Maybe I have too high expectations for you."

"puff."

Murray was so angry that he vomited blood and thought to himself, are your eyes lame?

Are so many treasures still too few?

It seems to be much richer than most museums in China!

Your expectations are too high just for this, what else do you want!

Murray's mood was obviously dissatisfied, but Lu Fei didn't pay any attention to his expression.

Because Lu Fei discovered another super baby.

I just saw the "Sikuquanshu" and immediately discovered the "Yongle Dadian".

Not far in front, placed side by side for more than ten meters, are all laminated "Yongle Dadian".

There are eighty-three volumes in total, all of which are copies made by Emperor Jiajing.

Although it is not as good as the original copy of Yongle that Wade gave him, it is still a super treasure!

At the very least, the recorded content is the same, eighty-three volumes, with more content.

What made Lu Fei even more delighted was that among the eighty-three volumes, nineteen were actually records of medicine.

The medical classics recorded in the "Yongle Dadian" are all medical classics that have been integrated for thousands of years in ancient times.

Any prescription found in it is a treasure worth a thousand dollars!

"Murray, remember, these "Yongle Ceremony" also need to be further discussed with your elders."

"puff!"

Murray nodded, already numb to Lu Fei's shamelessness.

Okay!

To be so generous in asking for other people's things, what kind of mentality do you have to have to keep your face from blushing and your heart not to beat!

There is a saying in China that people are shameless and invincible. Could it be that they are talking about Lu Fei?

Um!

It's very possible!

After reading "Yongle Dadian", there were more than a dozen collections of poems from the late Qing Dynasty, and then I even found a copy of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

However, these are all manuscripts.

Of course, it would have been impossible to survive originally.

Finally, Lu Fei discovered another good thing.

This is a handwritten copy of the "Ling Fei Jing".

Lu Fei has never been interested in manuscripts, but when he saw the author's signature, the corners of his mouth turned up.

Signed with two words "Shi Yun."

Shi Yun is a person's nickname, and this person's name is quite legendary.

His name is Liu Chunlin, and he was the last literary champion in the world from the beginning of the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty to the end of feudal society.

Quite memorable.

Liu Chunlin, also known as Runqin and Shiyun, was born in Suning County, Hejian Prefecture, Zhili Province in the late Qing Dynasty.

In the 30th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the late Qing Dynasty, he participated in the scientific examination.

At that time, the worried Empress Dowager Cixi, who was in trouble both internally and externally, was preparing for her seventieth birthday and wanted to get some good omen from the imperial examination.

She first opened the test paper that the examiner listed as the top one. Her handwriting was fluent and delicate, her words smooth and gorgeous, and she felt quite happy inside.

But when I looked at the payment, a dark cloud suddenly began to appear.

The winner was Zhu Ruzhen from Guangdong. When she saw the word "zhen", she thought of Concubine Zhen.

Because Concubine Zhen supported Emperor Guangxu's reforms, Empress Dowager Cixi was very displeased. Later, Concubine Zhen was pushed into a well and drowned, so her anger rose when she saw the word "Zhen".

In addition, Zhu Ruzhen was from Guangdong, which added fuel to Cixi's fire.

Thinking of Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao of the reformers, Sun Weiren, the founding father who raised high the banner of anti-Qing... These "first rebellions" of the Qing Dynasty all came from Guangdong.

In Cixi's view, the Cantonese people were her nemesis and intolerable, so she threw Zhu Ruzhen's test paper aside.

When Cixi opened the second test paper, she couldn't help but feel happy again.

Because the second test paper was from Liu Chunlin, a native of Suning, Hejian Prefecture, Zhili. The word "Chunlin" means the spring breeze turns into rain and the sweet rain falls. There was another severe drought this year, so I was eagerly looking forward to a spring rain.

In addition, Zhili is located in the capital, and "Suning" also symbolizes the peaceful scene of tranquility and tranquility. This is naturally an "auspicious" omen for the crumbling Qing Dynasty, which was plagued by wars.

Therefore, a large number of strokes were taken to rank at the top of the list. When the ranking was announced, Liu Chunlin was ranked first from the original second place. After the examiner's guarantee, in order to take care of public opinion, Zhu Ruzhen's name was not erased, but she had to be ranked second to Liu Chunlin. After that.

But history is ruthless. The imperial examination was abolished the year after Liu Chunlin won the first prize.

In 1911, the Revolution of 1911 broke out, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, and the imperial examination system was completely abolished. Liu Chunlin became the last number one scholar in the history of China.
